Trinity Symbol Trinity Cross Triquetras
In Christian symbolism represents the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bishop Theophile of Antioch, who died in 186 A.D., is thought to have been the first to use the concept of the Holy Trinity. Our Trinity Symbol is colored in symbolic colors also, Red for power and faith and language of fire and blood, indicates burning charity and the martyrs' generous sacrifice, Blue -represents faith and trust, Green -hue of plants and trees, bespeaks the hope of life eternal. Any color of light can be formed from the three primary colors. White light is the equal combination of red, green and blue light, and is a manifestation of three colors in one.This process divides the white light into three main colors symbolic of the trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit or Red, Blue and Green. From the three colors red, blue and green, all other color sensations can be made. So in this simple example of white light, we can see how unity was divided into individual unique qualities. Because white light can not exist without it's opposite (darkness) black, we have the first duality or polar opposite from a common undefined source. Thus our Trinity Symbol is inside a white circle on a black iridescent background.
